About Petrolblog

Petrolblog is an offbeat corner of the internet for car lovers who think the weird ones deserve more love. Born out of a fondness for under-appreciated metal, forgotten fleet cars and awkward coupés that sold in threes, Petrolblog celebrates the overlooked, the oddball and the “Oh yeah, I remember those!” moments of motoring.

We don’t chase hypercars, lap times or Top Gear-style explosions. Instead, we obsess over velour interiors, flaky Renaults, ’90s saloons with dealer-fitted spoilers and dashboards that look like they were styled by someone holding a crayon.

There’s a strong French flavour, but we’ll happily digress into Swedish estates, obscure press shots, forgotten brochures, and the peculiar brilliance of the base-spec.

Petrolblog is for people who’d rather drive a Renault 20 than a Range Rover.
It’s for lovers of the unloved. For defenders of the daft. And for anyone who’s ever said, “I know it’s rubbish, but I love it.”

Petrolblog is currently THIRD on the list of the best UK car blogs and websites, with only Auto Express and Car Throttle ahead of it. Not bad for a little car blog.
